[Music] Please welcome to the stage Dr. . Sunnita Sa. I want to take you back to my early 20s to my first job as a junior physician in the UK.I was overworked, underpaid, and constantly tired. I was working what we called a one in two, which meant that I worked a full day, stayed on call overnight, worked the whole of the next day before finally going home to get some sleep, only to do the whole thing again the next morning. So when I received out of the blue an invitation to meet with a financial advisor f ...

[Music] A couple of years ago, I was invited to this workshop. And as I walk into the room and I look around, I see this all amazing experts. We're professors, researchers, sustainability experts. And then there was me and I was wondering what am I doing here? I'm not a sustainability expert. I don't even have an academic degree. What if someone finds out? But I walk into that room and for hours we're talking about the challenges in front of us. They talk about all these amazing technical solutions that the ...

How long should we live. I know for a lot of you this question has never come across your mind because we don't think we can change how long we live. But what if we can.Would we even want to. What impact would this have on our world. Let's imagine two people, person A and person B.Person A is a woman in her 50s. She's taking a mix of some life extending drugs and hormone therapies such as vagiferm, estradorm, and limeocycline. These maintain her bone density, hormone levels, and even her skin.She's physical ...

We live in an age defined by speed. With just the tap of a finger, we can summon a car, order food to our door, or even communicate with someone halfway across the world. Our phones have gotten faster.Our internet speeds continue to sore, and even our expectations have accelerated higher and higher. However, this led me to question why the flight time from London to New York has increased. How is it possible that whilst everything else races ahead, crossing the Atlantic today takes longer than it did 50 yea ...

Core Argument - The presentation posits that society is becoming addicted to punishment as a means of emotional regulation and control, often prioritizing suffering over rehabilitation [2][3][5][6] - It argues that this reliance on punishment stems from learned behaviors and institutional practices, particularly evident in the justice system's approach to issues like addiction [7][8][9][10][11] - The presentation advocates for a shift towards restorative justice, emphasizing reintegration, understanding, and healing rather than retribution, citing Norway's justice system as a successful example [13][14][15][16][17] Psychological and Neurological Aspects - Self-punishment activates brain regions associated with learning and social survival, indicating its evolutionary importance in maintaining social bonds and regulating guilt [4] - Neuroscience suggests that punishing others can activate reward regions in the brain, highlighting the potential for punishment to be used for self-regulation and control [6] - The presentation suggests that individuals, especially those with mental health challenges, may overuse punishment as a coping mechanism for feelings of guilt and shame [5] Societal and Institutional Critique - The presentation criticizes the justice system for often prioritizing punishment over addressing the root causes of issues like addiction, leading to ineffective outcomes [9][10][11] - It argues that cultural and institutional teachings equate suffering with accountability, leading to a focus on making individuals feel worse rather than helping them [11] - The presentation contrasts this approach with Norway's restorative justice system, which focuses on preventing future harm, understanding the causes of harm, and supporting individual change [14][15] Proposed Solutions and Recommendations - The presentation urges individuals to find a balance between justice, accountability, and understanding, practicing self-compassion and treating others with empathy [18] - It suggests implementing a restorative justice approach that prioritizes restoring dignity and understanding pain over simply removing it [17] - The presentation implies that a societal shift towards empathy and understanding can lead to a change in the way society functions, starting with individual actions [18] Comparative Analysis - The presentation highlights Norway's justice system, which has a recidivism rate of around 20%, as a model for restorative justice [15] - It contrasts this with countries like the US, which have a recidivism rate of around 70%, suggesting the effectiveness of Norway's approach [15] - Norway's system focuses on reintegration, providing inmates with education, work training, therapy, and respect, treating them as citizens in crisis rather than offenders [13][14][16]

[Music] [Applause] May I ask you what is the number 17. 17 is the last year the law says you are a child. 17 is a prime number. 17 is the least random number for me.17 is the birth date of my boys, the favorite K-pop band of my daughter, and the number of years I step away from corporate life. 17 years of picking and bringing them to school, helping with their homeworks, cheering on the sidelines, bedtime talks, simply being there for every moment, big and small. 17 years of loving, nurturing, giving, and q ...

[Music] This is me, 6 years old, standing in my living room wearing my mother's apron and stethoscope. The next day, I was going to make the biggest announcement of my life, a lease for a kindergartener. When I grow up, I want to be a doctor.Are you sure. My mother asked. And I was.At that age, I hadn't seen much of the world, but I had this conviction and I knew deep down that I wanted to help people have hope for a better tomorrow. I was inspired by a docue series where I watched doctors treat patients fr ...
